Summary
Concerning his request to use Mr. Wilkinson's name; saying "...he has waited till now, in the Idea that he might receive some Sanction from Mr. Wilkinson to use his name, or speak of his Affairs, a Liberty he could not, by any Means, take without such a Privelege. In his Opinion, every thing that could be said of Mr. W. in the various Characters of Son, Husband, Father, or Member of general Society must redound to his Honour; & all Particulars relative to his Family, & the Incidents of his Life, may be best collected from Mr. W.'s own Publications."
